by Corey Brown Tuesday, August 16th, 2022

The amount of talent on a single stage in this video is mind-blowing. This clip comes from the 2014 Global Concert in Osaka, Japan, which was organized to “transmit a global message of peace, solidarity, and goodwill through unforgettable performances by some of the world’s greatest jazz icons.”

The icons here include Herbie Hancock (piano), Kenny Garrett (alto saxophone), Marcus Miller (bass), John Scofield (guitar), Roy Hargrove (trumpet), Josh Johnson (alto saxophone), Courtney Pine (tenor saxophone), Steve Turre (trombone), Mike Cottone (trumpet), Takuya Kuroda (trumpet), Sheila E. (percussion), Pete Escovedo (percussion) and Terri Lyne Carrington (drums).

The supergroup performs Hancock’s “Hang Up Your Hang Ups.”
